It has the 8 bolt crank but I could not find any numbers I could see on the casting? I read this can be done to the 218 engine. It turns it into a 230 bored .040 over with the same longer stroke but the 218 head has better flow then the 230 head(this is what I got out of it). In the end you have a 230 stroke on a 218 engine with .010 shaved head giving it more compression and the loss of 1/8"-1/4" of cylinder space due to stroke increase. Should raise the HP and Compression Ratio some over a stock 230 engine done this way.
